🚨 The AI Hot 100 Spotlight: Piramidal - Foundation Model for the Brain

Introducing Piramidal - one of the Hot 100 startups selected by The AI Furnace, with Kris Pahuja (Co-founder) speaking at The AI Hot 100 Conference. 

This week we interviewed Kris Pahuja. Read more here

Why is Piramidal part of the Hot 100? Piramidal is building dope tech, transforming how neurologists will diagnose and treat the brain 🧠.

Piramidal was founded by Dimitris Fotis Sakelleriou (PhD Neuroengineering and Applied Machine Learning, ex-Senior AI Engineer IQVIA) and Kris Pahuja (ex-Google and Spotify). The Piramidal team is building a foundation model trained on brainwave data, i.e. Electroencephalography (EEG) to support doctors to understand what brain waves are telling us. This has widespread implications ranging from diagnostics to wellbeing, with the ability to disrupt healthcare and improve human lives.

They raised $6M in funding.

Read more from the founders on our AI Hot 100 Blog, delving into:

  • How Dimitris’ PhD studies in neurology and AI led to what is now Piramidal

  • How Dmitris and Kris met and went on to co-found the company

  • Kris’ transition from Big Tech to the startup world 🚀

  • + more!
